do i need to call my car insurance company?
I was in a car accident today and it was not a small accident. I hit a car on its side. there was an older woman so an ambulance came but she ended up not being hurt, just procautionary.
the police were called and they took all my info and whatnot. It was wierd the police did not give me any papers or anything and told me i could leave. they just asked me if i wanted my car towed and i said no.
the police officer also told me when i asked him that i dont need to call my insurance company unless i want to make a claim. is that true? i only have 1 way insurance so im probably going to scrap my car. I always thought u should call them no matter what, do you know if i am obligated to call them or will they contact me?
location: Quebec, Canada
thanks a bunch, Tyler
Yes.
Call your insurance company.
Just because the lady did not go with the ambulance does not mean she won't decide to go to the dr later.
So, notify your company and let them get involved now. That way, if the lady makes a claim for damage to her car or injury they are ready to handle it.
